Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) A quantitative measure of the number of linearly independent paths (branches) through a program's source code which indicates the complexity of a program or a function.
Cyclomatic complexity to us seems to be more of a problem when maintaining and testing code, rather than when originally writing it. As the cyclomatic complexity increases, the difficulty of fixing the code increases.
